Let me add a link to an article on narcissists as natural leaders: http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/005609.html . It's something that's been discussed before. Samuel Lee was a pathological narcissist, as a host of former members who were around him can testify. His narcissism is reflected in UBF's own narcissism. They glory in themselves, they call themselves "the work of God", as insignificant as their accomplishments really are. It's hard to find a church or organization today that talks about themselves as much as UBF does.

Lee's narcissism reached a peak toward the end of his life. As an example, here's a link to the letter he wrote and sent to all UBF families in October 2001, on the 40th anniversary of UBF's founding. At the time, the last UBF reform movement was on-going. He would die in the fire at his house in January of the following year. As was his custom at the time, he signed his letter "Samuel Lee, UBF Director, Ph.D., Litt.D." I've taken the liberty to run this letter through Wordle, and with some large common words (the, and, in, of, to) taken out, here's what the "word cloud" looks like:

To Samuel Lee, the history of UBF was largely about "I". The same pattern can be seen in many other letters he wrote.

EE's other strong desires included drawing all glory and honor to himself, looking at and coveting and enjoying various women, his love of money, his pride that reached to the heavens, his jealousy of respected and recognized churches and church leaders, i don't want to think about him too much, he was such an ugly person on the inside and outside. all the ubf fictions cannot overcome the facts about this charlatan church leader.
